Today is the final day for the Red Kettle campaign for the Marshalltown Salvation Army. Thanks to your generosity, the campaign is closing in on its goal of $67,500.

Meantime, 494 children will have a jollier Christmas after last week’s Toy Shop at the Salvation Army. Not only did the kids get to pick out toys, the 254 families received a food box with all the trimmings for a family Christmas dinner.
